We are based in Raynes Park and provide physiotherapy services for patients across Wimbledon, New Malden, and South West London.

Your initial appointment includes a detailed assessment of your injury, symptoms, training history, lifestyle, and goals. Your physiotherapist will carry out a physical examination, explain the likely cause of your pain or dysfunction, and create a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs.

The number of sessions varies depending on your injury, goals, and how long the issue has been present. Some patients improve within a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term rehabilitation. Your physiotherapist will discuss this with you after your initial assessment.

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows the affected area to be examined easily. For lower limb injuries, shorts are recommended, while vest tops or loose-fitting clothing can be helpful for upper body assessments.
